I am very concerned about the introduction of this filture. I do not believe it will do any good at all and will waste millions of dollars of our taxpayer money. The filture can easily be bupassed by the simple use of a proxy so anybody with half a brain can get around it. Not only that but the Australian ISP's already lag behind the rest of the developed world when it comes to the speed of our service and the cost to the consumer. To needlessly slow further my already average internet connection is both unproductive and frustrating, not to mention utterly pointless. I have every right to access material I deem appropriate which has already been wrongly filtured in trials already. How many 1000's of sites have been wrongly blocked so far? The sooner politicians stop trying to nanny Australians with draconian laws the better. Money should be spent on catching those proven to have accessed material such as child pornography and putting those people in jail instead of blocking masses of legally available material by mistake and slowing the internet to a crawl. Last time I checked I didn't live in China..........
